Het Nelson Monument op de Calton Hill werd gebouwd ter nagedachtenis aan admiraal Lord Nelson. De admiraal is omgekomen tijdens de Slag bij Trafalgar in 1805. Slechts een maand na de Slag kwamen de burgers van Edinburgh bijeen om plannen te smeden voor de bouw van een eervol monument. In 1807 werd de eerste steen gelegd, maar het gebouw werd pas in 1815 voltooid. De grote stenen telescoop van de schepper Robert Burn trekt anno 2011 veel belangstelling. Later werd er een tijdbal toegevoegd aan het monument. Deze granieten bal moest zeelieden helpen om nauwkeurig de tijd te meten en daardoor de kortste en veiligste vaarroutes richting het vaste land uit te stippelen. Binnen in het torencomplex vind je een kopie van de brief aan Nelson's grote liefde Lady Hamilton en een miniatuur van zijn vlaggenschip Victory. Geniet op het uitkijkplatform van prachtige views over de schilderachtige zee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":596917,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"tip_category":[3245],"class_list":["post-591458","tip","type-tip","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tip_category-musea"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nNelson Monument is een museum in Edinburgh<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Het Nelson Monument op de Calton Hill in Edinburgh werd gebouwd ter nagedachtenis aan admiraal Lord Nelson.
